Enable File Sharing Applications like BitTorrent and Emule

 

This topic explains how to configure Comodo Firewall to work with file sharing applications like Shareaza/Emule and BitTorrent/UTorrent.

To allow file sharing applications:

• Disable 'Do Protocol analysis' (disabled, by default)

• Create a 'Predefined Firewall Ruleset' for Shareaza/Emule

• Create a 'Predefined Firewall Ruleset' for BitTorrent/Utorrent

Disable 'Do Protocol analysis'

1. Click 'Settings' on the CCS home screen

2. Click 'Firewall' > 'Firewall Settings'

 

3. Disable 'Do not Show popup alerts' so CCS will generate alerts when you open Shareaza or Emule.

4. Disable 'Do Protocol Analysis'.

5. Click 'OK' to save your settings.

Create a 'Predefined Firewall Ruleset' for Shareaza/Emule

1. Click 'Settings' > 'Firewall' > 'Rulesets'

2. Click 'Add' from the options at the top.

3. Enter a name for the new ruleset in the 'Description' text box: 'For allowing Shareaza/Emule'.

4. Now you need to create six rules for the newly created ruleset.

• Click 'Add' to open the 'Firewall Rule' interface

• Choose options for each setting as described in 'Rule 1' below
